RENT review by Cassie Huffmyier
Live on stage for the first time in the Twin Cities, the production of RENT at the Lab Theater was a moving story of AIDS, heartbreak and love, as seen on Broadway.

Interview by Rebecca McDonald of B FRESH Photography and Media
“…one of the main issues confronting our youth is teen pregnancy, STDs, and HIV/AIDS. The number of people infected is on the rise, so it is important we get the word out…we have to continue to reinforce protection and testing.” -Hasan Salaam
The underground Hip Hop video genre has been quite disappointing lately- forgettable, in fact....

Eternia
Eternia, named Silk-Anne Semiramis Kaya by her mother, is from Toronto, and she splits half of her time between Queens, NY & Toronto (Rexdale). I sat down with Eternia to talk shop before she hits the road hard for promotion and touring in 2010 (see “At Last” project below).
